Gateway Grizzlies.
A St. Louis minor-league baseball club came up with the most horrific hamburger ever. A little over a year ago, Burger King released a breakfast sandwich that packed in 750 calories and 47 grams of fat. The Gateway Grizzlies rank in at 1,000 calories. The donut alone has 10 grams of sugar. (For those of…

Godless Indeed, Coulter.
As Rachel Maddow pointed out on yesterday’s radio show, it’s entirely comical (and telling) that Anne Coulter’s new book comes out on 6/6/6. If it’s not purposeful, it sure is funny. Hell, it’s funny anyway. Someone needs to feed her.

My First Time Sucked.
I have nails. For the first time in my life, I have nails. They’re kind of nice, too. Yesterday, I went ahead and got my first ever manicure to celebrate their arrival. I spent 20 bucks (that includes a tip.) They were so pretty and pink and shiny and I found that I kept looking…

Tobyjoe’s Pictures from The Bout.
Tobyjoe is in the process of developing some film he shot at the Derby bout on Friday night. I shot with a digital camera. His look so much more interesting, in my opinion. Please swing by. He can talk more about what he used if he wishes. There will be more in the next couple…

Brooklyn Bombshells Vs. Queens of Pain
On Friday, Leggs Luthor (aka Anna) hooked us up with press passes to the Gotham Girls Roller Derby bout between the Queens of Pain and The Brooklyn Bombshells. It was amazing. Leggs Luthor broke the record for most points scored during a jam. (I think her total was 12, a shutout.) I know I’m slightly…

Screw York City.
The Department of Homeland Security announced yesterday that it’s cutting New York City’s antiterrorism dollars by 40 percent. I would be speechless, but I am still gloating over the fact that my Nano survived a wash cycle, a spin cycle, a rinse cycle, and another spin cycle. New York officials were given a one-page tally…

A Tale About Truth and Stupidity.
When I was a kid and I told a lie or withheld something from my parents, even for a little while, my head would grow bigger and bigger and heavier and heavier until finally my lips would explode and a river of guilty words would spill out before me. I was bulimic with lies. These…

The Nikon D200 Under Low Light
(Please note: There are no links in the post below. We are still working on the link situation for PC readers. Should be fixed.) I was messing around with the Nikon D200. Tobyjoe is talking about buying a new digital SLR. (Nuts!) We’ve been discussing the pros and cons behind the Nikon D200 vs. the…

Links On a PC
OK, so there are issues with my (new-ish) Web site. Issues I never knew about before today. Apparently, some people aren’t seeing hyperlinks. For that, I am sorry. We’re working on the problem. But I must say this helps me to understand why no one seems to ever click the links here. Could it be…

Stumbling On Happiness
Michael Krasny conducted an absolutely wonderful (audio) interview on KQED with Dan Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness. (From Amazon. Written by Malcolm Gladwell) Stumbling on Happiness is a book about a very simple but powerful idea. What distinguishes us as human beings from other animals is our ability to predict the future – or…
